This is my review of Silent Hill: The Short Message, the first Silent Hill Game to come to the PlayStation platform in over 10 years! Yeah the last game was all the way back in 2012, Book of Memories on the PlayStation Vita. A kind of sad end for the series. But with it back in this smaller package, does it capture what made people fall in love with the franchise to begin with and is it a good taste of the things to come for the brand.

I absolutely loved this game man the story for all 3 of these girls were so damn good and messed up the chase scenes are fucking stressful as shit and love Anita's dialogue every time she dies it adds so much to the realism

Bruh, for some reason, I feel like I'm one of the only few people who liked this game. Reading everything, purposely walking slowly to increase the fear, the music. Honestly even if i figure out the story gist by the end of chapter 2 I loved uncovering it. Honestly my biggest issue was that her character model looked low textured compared to the rest of the game. Also who uses the front of the phone for a flashlight? Just crank up the brightness??? Use the back for a flash light and you can still see the phone screen smh

The notes and story elements were ridiculously bad, especially their god awful attempt to incorporate Covid into the Silent Hill universe with the "Silent Hill Phenomenom" which in the game is a theory proposed by a "Dr. XXX from XXX universary" (the fact that they didn't even take a few seconds to consider what XXX is usually considered an abbreviation for makes it even more hilarious)

The game only just came out and you already have a review; impressive or worrying? Anyway, not the Konami IP I was hoping for but your reviews are always good quality and you have caught my curiosity. 0:30 - This awareness even plays into the title. It's literally the short (and important) message they have to give. The constant presence and use of the phone also ties into that theme. 1:50 - So there are some subtle storytelling elements; some of the game and theme explored through level design like this. It's just the core message that is made so blunt and clear. 4:12 - It's cherry blossoms? I thought it was paper-notes, much like what was on the walls. A real solid monster design. 5:38 - Nice to know everything is answered by the end. Sounds like it's short length allows to to be an experience that is solid enough, avoiding going on too long to the point where it starts to sour.

Hey bro what happened to all your other videos? Copyright situation?

Which videos were you after? I’ve not had any copyright claimed. I did delete my review of Alone in the Dark and my obscure PlayStation exclusives video cause I didn’t think the quality was up to par with the rest of my videos. That’s all I can think is missing

Although I appreciate it for being a free game. If the marketing strategy was to get me hooked on the future full game being released next year, it failed. As a free game it was fine, but 2-3 hours was enough, I would ‘t pay to play a 20h version of it.

I've only played half of this game so far. Its themes are definitely pretty grim for real life and the warning for this game shows.

I mostly agree. But i was kinda confused by one thing. Spoiler warning. U can find a note(?) in a trash can that reads "pregnancy test: positive". And i don't think thats ever brought up again. I thought at first theres gonna be a twist where it was revealed that maya got pregnant from the guy she drew in her artbook, which is why she was called a slut in some of the many letters on the walls. But no. Unless its the abusive mother that was reffered to there. But why was it in Maya's studio then?

I like your review and your take, but i just really didn't like it. I honestly stopped playing the game at the start of chapter 3 because of how repetitive it got and how unlikable the main character was. The voice acting/script was also not great with her constant comments about everything. I feel it could've been better if the game let the player figure out the story themselves instead of letting the protagonist yap constantly. But thats just my take

Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏 I see where you’re coming from, the themes and story really needed to be less in your face for you to be more emotionally invested. I think I went into it with low expectations but an excitement for anything Silent Hill and I came out having quite enjoyed it, but it’s sure not without faults. Good take 🙂

I loved it and was absorbed in her story finding out she had that note in chapter 3 made me want to find out more about her and was not disappointed going into her apartment to say she's unlikeable after the shit she went through is crazy what she did was fucked up and jealous but there's a reason

Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever played. Writing looks like it was done by a 14 year old. Not scary at all. Character is constantly texting on her ohone while a monster is nearby. Horrible voiceovers.
